What does DANCEY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Having a lively beat or style that makes people want to get up and move to it.
Reviewers use dancey for songs, albums and club nights that lean on a steady rhythm rather than on lyrics or melody. It is a casual, slightly playful label and is usually less formal than the standard word danceable. The shorter spelling dancy exists beside it and means the same thing. The word is about the feel of the music, not about whether any particular person is actually dancing.
